Google’s Inbox lands on iPad

Google has brought its new invite-only email client Inbox to the iPad. It has been designed to change the way you interact with your email by bundling like messages together, helping you deal with them by bulk, and putting what it thinks is priority email up front. The app is already available on iPhone so the app itself is just an update to optimize it for the iPad. If you’ve been wanting to check out the alternative way to deal with your email, you might want to check this out. That is if you have an invite.

Leak of Samsung Galaxy S6’s battery surfaces

With less than two weeks away from the Mobile World Congress 2015 and Samsung’s Unpacked event there, it isn’t surprising that even more leaks about the company’s next flagship has surfaced. This time, the battery of the supposed Galaxy S6 has been photographed and leaked. The image shows two battery packs carrying the model number EB-BG925ABE, which is reportedly the model number of the Galaxy S6.

As it has been previously rumoured, it is a 2600mAh battery, which is lower than the 2800mAh battery of the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S6 will reportedly have a non-removable battery that will be compatible with wireless charging. It was also said that it will feature an all-metal design that’s why they expect it to be slim and battery must have been sacrificed for that. If there is any truth to any of these, we just have to wait until March 1 to discover the truth.

Handwriting support comes to OneNote for iPad

It took a long time but it’s finally here. Microsoft’s OneNote app on the iPad finally gets stylus support. Now, you can use the stylus of your choice and it comes with 16 ink colors and various onscreen writing tools, like markers, highlighters, etc.

Microsoft also included optical character recognition support for its family of apps. This means when you upload an image with text, the printed words can be searchable within the application. This feature is now available for the iPhone, Macs, iPad, and Windows Phone.

Manage company Twitter accounts better with TweetDeck Teams

It is a security risk having multiple people manage a single Twitter account with the shared password and all. But Twitter wants to change that. Using their TweetDeck client, Twitter is introducing TweetDeck teams, it will let team members access the account without having to share a password with them. There will be two account levels—admins and contributors. The admins will be able to add and remove team members and tweet (including building lists, following and unfollowing accounts, and sending as well as scheduling tweets), while contributors can do what admin can do when it comes to tweeting but they can’t add or remove members nor can they can’t use it outside of TweetDeck.
